From 1 July 2026, med­ical devices must be reg­is­tered in swiss­damed, Switzerland’s med­ical device data­base. Swissmedic has now con­firmed the fee struc­ture, giv­ing man­u­fac­tur­ers a clear basis for budgeting.

A fee applies per UDI-DI. The first device costs CHF 200 per year, with CHF 20 for each addi­tion­al device, capped at CHF 10,000 per year per man­u­fac­tur­er or per­son assem­bling sys­tems or pro­ce­dure packs.

Fees first become payable on 31 Decem­ber 2026 for all UDI-DIs with the sta­tus “On the mar­ket.” Devices marked “No longer placed on the mar­ket” by that date incur no fee. The first invoice will be issued in Jan­u­ary 2027, with reg­u­lar invoic­ing there­after and a fresh fee cal­cu­la­tion each cal­en­dar year. 

Cru­cial­ly, fees are charged per man­u­fac­tur­er, not per CH-REP, and updates to exist­ing data are free. Re-reg­is­ter­ing a pre­vi­ous­ly “dis­card­ed” device, how­ev­er, trig­gers a new fee.
